just what I've been doing" was the con-

that" "All right; that's my present

How to Grow Celery.
Rural New Yorker.

For the lack of proper knowledge of
the nature and habits of celery, most of
our farmers, after repeated attempts,
have abandoned all efforts toward raising
plants or growing it. Almost any farmer
who takes pride in supplying his table
with seasonable vegetables will tell you
that he has tried to raise plants and has
failed, and has purchased plants and set
them, but they chad 40 luck" for they
all burned out. Certainly they did, for
they demand both GOODNESS and moisture
and got neither. Now, had the intending
growers, having made their ground both
rich and deep, scooped out trench 2 or
3 inches in depth and set their plants in
it 6 inches apart; given.th ground aroup
them slight mulch; laid Stats across the
trench upon which to lay 6-lnch-wide
row of boards, slabs, anything TO keep
the burning midsummer sun off the
plants from 10 .. m, till 4 p. M, (this
vertical covering may be removed as soon
as the plaEts commence to grow; mean
while keeping the ground continually
moist they would have been gladdened by
the sight of such punches at the end of
the season as are seldom seen eff the
exhibition table simply because they had
moderated the surround ding elements and
given the plants chance to make them
selves at home"

BaIky Horses.


The Farmers Qrish) Gazette gives the
following different ways of treating balk y
horses, which are recommended for trial:
First, pat the horse on the neck, ex-
anime him carefully, first one side, then
the other; if you can get him a handful
of grass, give it to him, and speak en-
couragingly to him. Their jump into
the wagon and give the word go, and he
will generally obey. Second, taking the
horse out of the shafts and turning him
around in circle until he is dizzy, will
generally start him. Third, another way
to cure balky horse is, place your hand
over his nose and shut off his wind until
he wants to go. Fourth, then again, take
a couple Of turns Of stout Irvine around
the forelegs, just below the knees, tight
enough for the horse to feel it; tie in a
bow knot. At the the first click he will
probably go dancing off. After going a
short distance you can get out and remove
the string to prevent injury to the ten
dous. Fifth, again, you can try the fol-
lowing: Take the tail of the horse be-
tween the hind legs and tie it by coro
to the saddle girth. Sixth the last rem
edy l know of is as follows: Tie string
around the horses ear close to his head.
This will divert his attention and start
him.

FARM NOTES.

Argentine Republic is an immense
country, having much the same kinds of
soil with similar climatic features) as
the Mississippi valley. For years enor-
nous herds of cattle and horses have
ranged its boundless plains. The cattle
are of a very inferior class, much like our
common Texans. Considerable interest
has been shown lately by the Dons in
grading up with the improved breeds.
Several shipments of bulls to BuenOs
Ayres have been made by our western
breeders, and agents are in this country
buying we'll bred horses for expectation.
No farmer in Dakota can afford to run
his farm without owning at least 25 sheep.
They will not cost to exceed ST. per an
mum. They will return $3.50 per head in
wool. They will net $3.50 per head in in
crease, thus leaving so far net profit of
So per head. Then again 25 sheep will
keep $50 acre farm free from wild buck
wheat, thing that cannot be done in
any other way except by an immense
amount of labor and quite an outlay of
money, thus directly increasing the crop
of wheat ten bushels per acre and pass
ing another large amount to their credit.
There is no experiment. to try. No place
in the world will sheep do better than
here. Farmers, mix your business, it will
pay you.-Central Dakota Paragraph.
Yet one more penalty falls on the head
of our northern agriculturists as an ap-
propriate retrlbution for their foolish
trifiing with pluro- pneumonia and sug-
gested innoculation experiments. The
Highland and Agricultural Society find
themselves compelled at the last moment
to exclude cattle from their show at
Perth. This is due of course to the ap-
pearance of the disease in that city.
Nothing but a recurrence Of such appear
ances can be expected when society of
such position and character is so far left
to Itself as to call In question the pro-
priety of the only legal remedy for
pleuro pneumonia stamping out."-

GENERAL JOTTINGS.

South Carolina crop reports are favor
able. The largest Yield of cotton on rec
ord is expected, and the same is true OF
corn. There will be full crop of rice
and sorgham sugar cane, and potatoes
promise we'll.
General S. l.. M. Barlow says the cable
war has not yet been settled. The com
mercial company is willing to GO TO 40
cents word and no higher, but unless an
agreement is soon made the tariff is
liable to drop to cents word.
The wheat crop in Minnesota AMI Da-
kota proves to be the largest on record,
and superior in quality to any gather ed
since 1888. The amount in store at Min
neapolis, st. Paul and Duluth declined
257 900 bushels last week. The receipts
fell off nearly 100000 bushels. Wheat
and flour are weak at Minneapolis, owing
to the assured full supply. Coru pros
poets in Dakota and Minnesota are ex-
cellent.

Sullivan Gives Up His Trip to Australia-The
Big Fellows Views as to the Champion
ship.
Mr.. John Lawrence Sullivan, according
TO his own assertions, has given up
the idea of a trip to Australia, and will
go to England instead. He states that
he attaches no significance whatever to
the gift of the so-called cham pionship
belt to Kilrain, but cleverly avoids any
reference to a contest with the newly
declared champion as test of skill and
merit. In Boston, on Saturday last, Sui
livan said ia reply to Herald reporter;
81 am feeling as well as ever, and at
present weigh $50 pounds, which think
is enough for me. When / left Boston I
weighed thirty pounds heavier, but, by
keeping in good trim, I reduced myself
ard K. Fox so-called championship belt,
you can say that 1 never wanted and
never would accept it from Fox, although
he offered it to me several times. Kilrain
can have it, and the championship, also,
an advertisement for his travelling COM
bination. He will probably find that
his enterprise is not as remunerative as
he thinks before he shows in many
places. Sparring travelling combinations
are not as successful as they were at one
time, though / have no reason to COM
plain, as made little money on the
road. If it had not been that in several
places licenses would not be granted our
trip would have been a very profitable
one. [ will finish the show business in
about a week and then keep quiet till
August, when it is my intention to go to
England, taking Taylor with me, to give
exhibitions. Mr.. Sheedy will of course,
be my manager. I have given up all
ideas of going to Australia, as l have
recently received news from there that is
not at all encouraging. When get ready
will meet Kilrain, or any other man in
the world who considers himself the
champion, but no zone can force me
into fighting" The champion then
spoke in the most deplorable terms of
liquor and pugilists who engage in the
liquor trade. 81 would not engage in that
business again." said he, eff was offered
all the money in the world. To be a
sober man and see the evil influence of
liquor on my fellow men has taught me
lesson I will always remember. The
day has passed that it can be said the
champion has been drinking [ know
what blessing a sober life is and will
always lead one." Sullivan gave every
evidence that what he said was true.

Sowing Grass Seed
American Agriculturist.

In sowing grass and clover seeds an
even stand is desirable, and to secure
this, great care is to be taken in the SOW
ing. A very good practice is to make the
last narrowing with great care, evenly
and with the marks all parallel. Then
the sower can follow these marks, first
taking the edge CT the field and returning
six short PAGES distant from the first
course. Then returning on the second
course, and always sowing with the right
hand tc the left. Six feet for each cast
is as much as can be taken with light
seed, as orchard grass, blue grass, redtop,
etc. and as much as should be taken with
timothy, and the quantity of seed taken
may be readily gagged to the width of
the cast. The cast is made with each
movement of the right foot. When the
wind is blowing, even slightly, the casts
should be made low, TO avoid irregular
dropping of the seed, and when the light
seeds are sown it is easier to walk across
the harrow marks when the tracks made
are easily seen, and the wind may carry
the seed to one side, the sower may go
out Of the straight track to accommodate
the wind, and on returning can easily dis
tinguish the foot marks Of the previous
track in the soft soil.
The sowing should be done as soon as
the last narrowing is finished, when the
seed sinks in the loose soil, or is covered
by the first shower. A smoothing plank
is a good thing to cover seed with. 1t
may be or 10 feet long, and is fitted
with a tongue and two stiff braces. The
tongue is fitted to the plank on the level,
so that when it is raised the front end of
the plank is elevated little. This pre-
vents the plank from gathering stones or
seeds in front of it, and causes 1t to ride
over them. It leaves smooth, even sur
face.
